'Fans of Child's irrepressible, impulsive picture-book heroine —
as well as kids who have not yet had the pleasure of making her
acquaintance — will devour her first chapter-book adventure.'
—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
It's not easy to concentrate at school when mysterious things are
happening all around you. In fact, Clarice Bean is starting to feel
just like her favorite heroine: Ruby Redfort, schoolgirl detective.
Clarice and her utterly best friend, Betty Moody, are planning to ace
their book project about Ruby and win the class prize, until Betty
disappears into thin air, and horrible teacher Mrs. Wilberton teams
Clarice up with the naughtiest boy in school. Will her new partner ruin
everything? Will Betty ever come back? And what on earth happened to
the silver trophy everyone's hoping to win? Lauren Child brings her
trademark wacky wit and eccentric visual energy to a full-length,
fastpaced Clarice Bean episode that will charm even the most capricious
reader.
